Chapter 18: Uncle, I'll Run to the Hall (18)
The money shopkeeper pulled his face when he heard this, he had never seen the conditions before he started working, and he thought that this kid was clever before, but now he doesn't know what to do. When I wanted to refuse, I felt that it was not easy to find a literate apprentice in the hall, but I had to agree to her easily, and I felt that I should really beat her.
After thinking about it for a while, the money shopkeeper still decided to give a dismount first: "There is more than one apprentice in the store, and the apprentices have to take turns to watch the store at night. ”
"Shopkeeper, I'll come early and leave late to work more, and make up for the shopkeeper's share, do you think it's okay?" Qian Qian smiled cautiously.
Dong San was in a cold sweat when he heard it behind Qian Qian, why didn't he think that this kid was so bold before, and he dared to talk to the shopkeeper about the conditions, he hurriedly smiled: "Don't be angry with the shopkeeper, the child is not sensible, don't worry about him." It is not easy for Xiao Wuzi and her mother to take him alone, so Xiao Wuzi is not worried that his mother is at home alone, and she is also a filial child, at least it proves that the child's character is still good. ”
Dong San's words made the money shopkeeper have a step down, and it was indeed because literate apprentices were very scarce, so the money shopkeeper coughed and said with a straight face: "Even if Dong San intercedes for you, I don't want to worry about you as a child." It's just that if the store opens this example for you now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do it in the future. Like you said, it's essential to come early and leave late to work more, otherwise how fair is it to other apprentices. In this way, from tomorrow onwards, you will come to work at the beginning of the hour, and you will not be wrong every day. One day later, roll me out to see the store immediately. ”
Qian Qian could only nod his head and agree, very sad in his heart, there is no curfew in this era, the hotel will be open until after dark, and it will be at least 7 o'clock in the evening to get home after all the cleaning is done. She was asked to come early and leave late, which was a long working day. Come to work at 3 o'clock in the morning every day, there is no one left, she really works hard to be a second child.
The money shopkeeper didn't say anything when he saw Qian Qian, so he didn't continue to count her. turned his head and instructed Dong San to call the running hall in the store to see who was willing to accept money as an apprentice.
The champion building has a total of three floors, which is considered a high-rise building in this era, because most of the distinguished guests who come to the champion building do not like to be noisy, so only three running halls are arranged on each floor. It is not much expensive, and for such a large floor as the champion building, the work is still quite heavy. Qian Qian now believes that the running hall of the champion building is carefully selected by one top player, and three people can serve the guests on the first floor properly, and there are indeed two brushes.
Among these nine people, two of them brought apprentices, and the remaining seven all looked at Qian Qian left and right with a blank face. In this era, accepting apprentices is a serious matter, and the master is responsible for the apprentice like his father, so he is very careful when choosing an apprentice.
Qian Qian felt like a watermelon, standing dumbfounded and being judged by others, several senior juniors commented on her enough, this one said "too thin", that one said "it doesn't look clever enough", and some people commented "I don't know what the character is, in case you raise an unfilial white-eyed wolf, it's a bad thing." ”
Qian Qian looked at the senior runners around her, all of them were less than thirty, and thought that this finding an apprentice was really a bit like picking a son, and a few people began to worry about her filial piety so early, aren't you afraid that it will be too early......
In fact, a few runners who came to pick people were all human spirits, and they had long heard that there was a literate child who was going to come as an apprentice in the running hall, and they all felt that Qian Qian was a little stupid, and he had the ability to read and write and actually came to do the work of serving people. But there is a literate apprentice who still has a lot of face, and because of the shallow literacy, the apprentice will definitely be able to be reused by the shopkeeper after the apprentice, the apprentice is promising, and the master has a lot of benefits, so several running halls are willing to accept her as an apprentice.
It's just that a few people are afraid that Qian Qian has the ability to read and write, and they look down on them in their hearts, and they will be disobedient in the future, so they pretend to give her a few soft nails and press her. Qian Qian didn't know these twists and turns, she stood honestly in the middle of the room, looking at a few runners. Several senior runners discussed for a while, and finally the oldest one offered to accept money as an apprentice, and the rest of them didn't dare to rob him.
Qian Qian's freshly baked master is surnamed Li, and everyone calls him Xizi, thin, but his face is not mean. Xizi is in charge of the floor on the second floor, and the remaining two runners on the second floor are under his command, Qian Qian thought to himself, this Master Li is probably the ancient version of the floor manager, and it is not bad to follow him.
In this era, it is a serious matter to be a master to accept apprentices, and Xizi specially asked the big shopkeeper and carefully chose an auspicious day for the zodiac to worship the master a few days later. However, although he did not worship the teacher, Qian Qian was already considered Xizi's internal apprentice, and he still had to come to work for free early the next morning.
Xizi was still very satisfied with his little apprentice, and after a few words of Qian Qian, he let her go back first, and the money shopkeeper looked at Qian Qian's out, and sighed behind his back: "You still have to hone hard to get out." Qian Qian didn't know, just this sentence determined her sad days in the next few months.
Qian Qian said hello to Dong San and went home. When I got home and reported to Zhang, I heard that Qian Qian would have to go to work every day after dinner, Zhang felt very distressed when he heard it, and wanted to stop her, but felt that she refused to listen, just sighed, and rushed out to buy a paper lantern and lamp oil for Qian Qian.
Qian Qian looked at the new lanterns and couldn't help but feel a little guilty, a family like theirs actually couldn't afford to light lanterns, and lamp oil was a luxury consumable. But Zhang's distressed daughter wanted to go to work before dawn every day, so he still bought it ruthlessly.
Approaching evening, after dinner, as a sad professional, Qian Qian planned to go to bed early. After washing, she suddenly thought of an important question, how can she get up on time tomorrow if she has an alarm clock??!! This is really bad news!!
Seeing her sad face, Zhang asked, and when she heard that she was afraid of missing the time to get up, Zhang smiled: "It's okay, you sleep steadily, there is a mother, and my mother will definitely not let you miss the time." ”
"And Me and Me and My !!" 7788 ran out again to brush the sense of existence, since Qian Qian decided to be an apprentice in the running hall, it has always been very happy: "I can be an alarm clock, rest assured, Qian Chuanzi." "7788 pat chest guarantee.
Qian Qian finally let go, lying on the bed and preparing to sleep, still feeling a little emotional, in modern society, sometimes she is still watching movies and scrolling Weibo at three o'clock in the morning, but now it's good, she has to get up at three o'clock in the morning to work. Sure enough, it is feng shui in turn, and the rich girl Qian Qian will be an apprentice from tomorrow.
